I think that giving Eye-Scream a ridiculous power-up and making him a legitimate threat would be hilarious.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

And I still want an HD remaster of Dissidia 012 for all consoles and PC, dammit.

VimesoftheWatch @vimesofthewatch.bsky.social · 56m

About the new Dissidia:
I have no problem with trying new ideas and stuff. It is the lifeblood of games and a staple of Final Fantasy in particular. But stop with the free-to-play mobile bullshit that will inevitably be taken down/delisted.

Also, Kain in a fedora just makes sense for some reason.

This is why we say "mask off" when one of them slips up in public with this shit, because we know they do this shit in private 24/7.

And, if that is even actually possible(and that's a big if), barring some absurd and highly improbable scientific advancements, we won't even be getting the crudest prototypes on the first steps to that until I'm old and grey. And even that's a maybe.

The only art, film, music, etc. "generated" by A/I I'll accept is if we get hypothetical science fiction non-biological people like Data from Star Trek, some Star Wars Droids, EDI from Mass Effect, etc., and they start painting or making films or playing piano or what have you.

That Ray Charles one IS fantastic too. That's why I specified that the Joe Cocker cover being as good if not better than The Beatles original was rare, not a "the only instance of this" situation.

Maybe that's what connected with me the most. I'm rarely happy to go out of my way to help people, but I'll always help people whenever and however I can simply BECAUSE I can. Helping others isn't a choice for me. It is a responsibility, a duty.

VimesoftheWatch @vimesofthewatch.bsky.social · 3h

In the end, it is a game about friendshipand what you'd do for your friends, about how you never have enough time to do all that you want, that you'll have responsibilities you really, REALLY don't want to do, but responsibility isn't a choice.

Some people were disappointed in Final Fantasy XV, especially at launch. I was not one of them. And it only got better with added content. And it had one of the best theme songs for a FF ever.

Is it in my top 3 favorite FFs? No. But, like almost all Final Fantasys, I do adore it.

And then there's Birdemic bucking that trend by having the theme be a pretty unmemorable 45 second thing they just loop.

Like almost all the best "so bad it's good" films, the artistic sincerity from the filmmakers, cast, and crew of Troll 2 (in spite of the lack of talent) is what sells it and makes it so endearing.

1 movie theme I unironically love that is from a terrible film?

The theme to Troll 2.

Just started my 3rd playthrough of Control since they just added in the preorder bonus+digital deluxe edition content into the PS5 & Xbox series versions of the game for free.

VimesoftheWatch @vimesofthewatch.bsky.social · 19h

Other possible picks include the barbershop quartet version of God Only Knows from Bioshock Infinite and Florence+The Machine's version of Stand By Me for Final Fantasy XV, among others.

VimesoftheWatch @vimesofthewatch.bsky.social · 19h

Tough choice. It MIGHT be the Joe Cocker version of "With A Little Help From My Friends", a rare instance of a Beatles cover not only working, but possibly being better than the original.
